Wired UK - Nintendo Switch Tracing History

Wired UK magazine asked me to do a piece about the Nintendo Switch.

Process

The article came out a little bit after the console's announcement, and my art director asked me to draw Mario and Luigi racing using the Switch itself as cars. I had the idea of splitting them between the two controllers and adding a bit of a Mario Kart vibe.

After the initial sketch was approved, I basically tried to give my own spin to the two characters, while still respecting theis iconic designs.
